Any skipping issues with the Koala tube CD player?

One very common reason a CD player will skip is the laser sled runs into a piece of the factory lubricant that has dried up and hardened on the rails the laser travels on

When the sled hits the dry spot it stalls briefly losing lock with the CD data stream and skipping until it can move past the dry spot and regain lock on the CD’s info

If you can see the rails ... wipe them clean and apply a lite coat of white lithium

WHITE LITHIUM GREASE!!!! Solved the problem. CDP is no longer skipping. Played 3 CDs from start to end; no skipping at all.

OUTSTANDING ...

I have recommended this fix for a number of skipping CD players on various boards with great success for those who have tried it

This skipping problem usually occurs in much older players when the factory Lube eventually dries up on the rail and causes the laser sled to stall and lose lock with the data stream

I suspect the tube in your CD player is generating some extra heat under the cover and causing the Lube on the rail to premature dry up

Now you can sit back and enjoy your music
